Project

Farm Name
WaveCloudCedar: evolving climate-responsive farming north of the 49th
Farm Project Description

Principally a market garden-style family farm providing vegetables through CSA boxes and on-site sales, the project relies on a combination of income streams. Instead of 20th century autonomous agriculture, our model seeks to embed farming in other practices -- art, education, research, communication. It is an agrarian model as much about idea seeding as about agronomy strictly speaking. This project stems from our belief that small farming is the key to any sustainable future; it is as much about growing food as showing others how they can too! We are a writer and artist who farm (we have a firm commitment from a publisher to publish a book on our experience) and farmers who write and paint, the sale of daily documentary paintings being a crucial income stream alongside the vegetables they depict.
